Answer: 0.1840

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability formula :-

P(X)=^nC_x\ p^x(1-p)^{n-x}, here n is the number total of trials , p is the probability of getting success in each trial and P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trial.

Given : The probability of the community favored building a police substation in their neighborhood = 0.64

If 14 citizens are chosen, then the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation will be :-

P(8)={14}^C_{8}\ (0.64)^{8}(1-0.64)^{14-8}\\\\=\dfrac{14!}{8!6!}\times(0.64)^8(0.36)^{6}\\\\0.183996740126\approx0.1840

Hence, the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation = 0.1840

In early 2012, the Pew Internet and American Life Project asked a random sample of U.S. adults, "Do you ever ... use Twitter or
8090 [49]

Answer:

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

And the confidence interval is given by:

(0.123, 0.177)

And for this case the interval contains the value 0.16, so then we can conclude at 5% of significance that the true proportion is not different from 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

And the confidence interval is given by:

(0.123, 0.177)

And for this case the interval contains the value 0.16, so then we can conclude at 5% of significance that the true proportion is not different from 0.16

boeing plans to increase its price for jetliners. with a selling price $201.5 million and a cost of $190.1 million, what was the
scoray [572]

so from 190.1 to 201.5 is 201.5 - 190.1 = 11.4.

now, if we take 190.1 as the 100%, what is 11.4 off of it in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190.1&100\\ 11.4&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190.1}{11.4}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 190.1x=1140 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1140}{190.1}\implies x\approx 5.99684
